Education and career

Between 1990 and 1995 she worked on her doctoral thesis at the University of Oslo. In her dissertation , she examined the consequences of a blood relationship between parents. From 1998 to 2001 she worked as a postdoc at the University of Oslo and the Statens institutt for folkehelse, the predecessor of today's Folkehelseinstituttet (FHI).

COVID-19 pandemic

As head of the FHI, she was jointly responsible for the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway in 2020 . At the end of May 2020, she said that the technical basis for closing schools and kindergartens in mid-March was insufficient. Stoltenberg stated that the FHI had not advised the Solberg government to close the schools. According to her, this was the right advice, but the technical basis for it would not have been available. The statistics would later have shown that the spread of the virus was already declining before the lockdown .

research

In 1997, Camilla Stoltenberg and other Norwegian researchers published a study in which she compared the number of birth defects among immigrants and the rest of the Norwegian population. She also examined the influence of consanguinity in the parents. She also does research on autism and other other neurodevelopmental disorders. Stoltenberg is also active in the field of prenatal and genetic epidemiology.

In 2006 she discovered the falsifications of the Norwegian researcher Jon Sudbø after he referred to as yet unpublished data from the FHI.
